Island Vegetation

For such a warm and sunny destination, Ibiza remains remarkably green throughout the year. Ibiza and its little sister Formentera are known as "las Islas Pitiusas" (Greek origins), which means as much as "the pine-covered islands".
In addition to the Pine forests, the Almond, the Olive and the Fig trees add to the wonderfully green aura that surrounds Ibiza. On top of this, from July until September, Bougainvillea, Oleander and Hibiscus bushes adorn the island with startling splashes of purple, pink and red.

The warm temperatures between November and May transform the island into a blossoming paradise: meadows carpeted with yellow flowers, red Poinsettias, Almond trees in full bloom, Orange and Lemon trees laden with succulent, ripe fruit. Spring is in the air, instead of the usual winter depression. In fact, various palms, Cacti and Agaves (from which Aloe Vera is produced) ensure a tropical atmosphere all year long.
